Fourier Series with Complex Exponential Basis Functions

Fourier Series with Complex Exponential Basis Functions... 

Integral transforms were discussed, including Fourier and Laplace transforms. Fourier transforms are the result of allowing the period of the function to be represented by a Fourier series to become larger and larger, so that the series approaches an integral in the limit. Fourier transforms are usually written with complex exponential basis functions, but sine and cosine transforms also occur. Laplace transforms are related to Fourier transforms, with real exponential basis functions. We presented several theorems that allow the determination of some kinds of inverse Laplace transforms and that allow later applications to the solution of differential equations.
